Microsoft curses licence breaker with kidney stones

CODEWEAVER'S chief operating officer claimed that he got kidney stones while developing a version of Crossover Mac and is blaming the curse of Steve Ballmer for them.

Jon Parshall said his software, which allows users to run Windows applications without buying a licence from Microsoft, suffered from stones which suddenly appeared in his urinary system.

In a press release, Parshall said that the curse of Ballmer was like descending into the eighth level of hell.

The press release claimed Microsoft was to blame for the illness because if it were it not for Microsoft's equally fiendish OS monopoly, he would not have been spending so much time trying to make a few more apps run under our new version of Crossover.

He said that all of his fellow open source software developers were at risk.

Parshall also had a pop at his designer who thought it was a good idea to put nerve endings on the ‘inside' of his kidney which he said was about as intelligent a design choice as Microsoft making their Web browser a ‘component' of their operating system.

“I still can't stop blaming Microsoft for what I went through, and I cursed them as I walked into the doctor's office,” Parshall said.

We think he is probably taking the Nintendo a bit. µ
